Hosting his Polish counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister Janez Janša pledged Slovenia’s support for Poland in light of the migrant crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border.
He said the EU should fund all measures to protect the bloc’s external borders, arguing that physical barriers at the borders have proved to be effective in preventing illegal migration and violence. He noted that Slovenia had been striving to drum up major support for Poland in the migration crisis as the country that is currently at the helm of the Council of the EU.
